Juried Presentation

The J. Irwin and Xenia S. Miller Prize Competition honors two great patrons of architecture, art, and design by furthering their mission to make Columbus the best community of its size. Ten Miller Prize finalists participated in the 2016 symposium, sharing their unique design perspectives in panel discussions and an exhibition of their work. The finalists’ experience at the symposium and on-site in Columbus enabled them to create exciting design proposals that responded thoughtfully to the history of the five sites. They returned later that year to present these proposals to a jury of international experts and local site representatives as well as an audience of community members at Columbus City Hall.

The jury selected the five prize-winning designs that have transformed the cityscape during the 2017 exhibition and sparked new conversations about the power of design.
